Correct Position of Cam Lobe for Valve Adjustment?

I did the valves on my 71 220D this past weekend, and the car is running great. But now, having looked at Boostnbenz's website, I'm a bit unsure.

The MB service manual shows the cam lobe needs to be 180 degrees from the rocker, but the face of the rocker isn't perpendicular with the ground, so I turned the cam so basically the lobe "points" toward that bar at the top of the whole assembley (which I think is 180 from the rocker arm, but looks like about 45 from the ground). Boostnbenz's picutre and description says that the cam lobe should point directly up.

I can post the pic from the manual, which looks a lot more like how I did it.

Anybody know?

Eric
